Can't go wrong with BackupPC ( http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/ ) It's a little involved to get it set up but seems to work well, especially for backing up multiple PC in the "home data center"
Hmmm - didn't ESR inspire Netscape to following a similar path to "salvation" back in '98? (Netscape) Hopefully (for Sun!) history won't fall into its old habit of repeating itself.
Ok, you've struck a nerve like Madonna used to strike a pose. I'm 31, been an I.T. professional for ten years and have no degree. I dropped out of college in my senior year primarily out of frustration with the entire process/institution. Having worked full time as a programmer and attending night school to finish my remaining credits, I began to see the lack of reality behind the instruction. The problems presented in class were either demonstrations of some obscure theory of computation having no connection to the issues I faced out there in the "real world" or were so cookie-cutter simple that they added nothing to my practical knowledge base. Having faced no small amount of discrimination during the search for my first job for being non-degreed, I am still sensitive to, and deeply offended by, those who choose to view a person's technical competence and "worth" to the company first by the presence of a checkmark next to the Degree box on the employment application. People without a college degree (especially back in the "old" days of the early 90's) have had to work harder and develop themselves to a much higher degree than their degreed counterparts just to maintain parity and garner consideration by the old guard that to continue to uphold this no degree=no brains generalization, especially during this tight tech labor market, is the real sign of incompetence.
